If you live at or north of Chicago, you know, winter is here. I'm trying not to give up on fashion just yet, wearing so many layers I can't put my arms down. But it is getting harder to be cute when you're cold. I'll never understand how people in northern Europe or Canada do it! ITS COLD. Not saying I prefer the heat either, I don't imagine me ever living in a place were it hits 90+ degrees on a regular basis, 60-70s, are perfect for me!

I got this awesome awesome awesome mallard turtleneck from Kiddo TV. Her vintage shop has so many hand picked curated pieces that scream pop culture weirdness. As we all know I love me some ducks, so I had to have this mallard turtleneck. PLUS, what better time to wear turtlenecks than in the winter. I know we all try to be chic all year round, but turtlenecks in the summer? Feels like your suffocating.

Oh and BONUS my hair is in a ponytail, remember this moment people it doesn't happen often!

  4. Your hair looks so cute like this! I love everything about this outfit. The double pins on your coat are wonderful and I really like the print on your top too. I definitely agree about the weather. I prefer cooler weather, but dealing with the ultra cold for months on end would be difficult. I live in one of those 90+ areas though. Luckily it's cool here right now!

  10. Oh another beautiful outfit! I love the light colored coat, and the little broaches you've added. How do you know yourself and your style so well?? Yeah for sure, the cold weather makes it hard to make outfits, the not being able to put your arms line made me laugh haha. It reminded me of A Christmas Story with that kid in his snowsuit haha.

  11. I love your updo! And yeah, I feel the pain of trying to style well in winter. The first snow has started falling around Sendai. Ugh. Do you have any Uniqlo heattech? They really work!
